Very fruity and intense. Definitely drink this at or near cask strength. There’s a bitter, malty note if you drink it neat, which softens into dark chocolate as you add water. A very fun dram to play around with by dribbling different amounts of water into it.

Comments:
Cask 46. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a Glendullan, and I’ve never had a whisky from this bottler. It’s a good start / restart - the whisky is fresh and bright, with good mouthfeel and lots of fruit and cereal notes. There is also a nice herbal undertone, creating good complexity.
Verdict:
I like this a lot.
